How this is surprising is just a testament to how little actual information too many Americans consume.

You would think J6 would have been a huge flashing red light...but no....

2. We are not an informed populace

There are very smart people in the USA, but they are the minority. We got EXACTLY what "we" voted for. Part of me wants the destruction to pound on the heads of the assholes who voted for him, but sadly a lot of people who voted for VP Harris will also feel the brunt of this bullshit, they did what they could and now will pay. They I feel sorry for. Shit is terrible.

3. "Did you think he was joking?" That's what Republicans always defended him with: "He's just joking!"

"He's trolling the media!"

"That's just Trump being Trump!"

"You have Trump Derangement Syndrome!"

Trump may be an enormous liar, but he telegraphs his intentions pretty clearly if you pay attention.


Edited to add: PeaceWave, I know YOU didn't think he was joking. Often my posts are kind of written for the benefit of some proverbial undecided voter who may happen across them.

the often-proffered BS that "Kamala would have been worse!"

Now that's some real preference falsification cognitive dissonance psychotic dissociation non-AI-but-still hallucinating idiotic doubletalk.

7. The only surprising development

to me since the election, is how quickly he has unraveled. The Epstein files is clinging to him like a rabies bat and even in his own party he is losing support. I thought what's happening now wouldn't happen until after the midterms. happy to see it.

11. Actually I think most Republicans are delighted.

They love the idea that the head guy on their side is a badass monster who destroys peoples lives.
That’s what they think a leader should be.
As long as he doesn’t do it to them.
